CELTIC PLAYER RATINGS
VISILIS BARKAS 6
Did well to stay alert during a 90 minutes his side dominated. Had no saves to make.
KRISTOFFER AJER 6
The Norewgian’s miscued clearance in the 20th minute gifted Riga possession. He was fortunate they didn’t take advantage.
SHANE DUFFY 7
Got his head on the end of a Ryan Christie cross and nodded down to Odsonne Edourd in the Riga area in the first-half. Did well to deny Roger a chance in the second.
NIR BITTON 6
Had a tame shot saved by Roberts Ozols in the first-half.
GREG TAYLOR 6
Headed a Ryan Christie cross over in the second-half.
JAMES FORREST 5
Limped off injured after half an hour.
SCOTT BROWN 6
Picked up a booking before half-time for a foul on Wesley Nata. Was quickly onto any Riga attack.
CALLUM MCGREGOR 6
Squared across the Riga goal to Jeremie Frimpong in the 38th minute when he perhaps should have shot on goal himself.
OLIVIER NTCHAM 6
Forced Roberts Ozols to tip over his crossbar with a decent attempt from 25 yards out in the first-half.
RYAN CHRISTIE 7
One of Celtic’s better performers. Did well to cut inside and get a shot on goal on the hour mark.
ODSONNE EDOUARD 6
The French striker came back into the starting line-up. Lacked his usual joie de vivre.
SUBSTITUTES
JEREMIE FRIMPONG 8
Injected energy and invention into Celtic’s play on the right flank. Set up the winner.
ALBIAN AJETI 3
Should have opened the scoring shortly after replacing Ntcham.
MOHAMED ELYOUNOUSSI 5
Buried the winner brilliantly.
